Sony Ericsson stomps its foot down about not offering any new Symbian products

Now there is going to be one less partner in Nokia's seemingly depleting partners now that Sony Ericsson stomped its foot in regards to any future development of Symbian based handsets. In fact, Sony Ericsson spokesperson Aldo Liguori simply stated to the point, “we have no plans for the time being to develop any new products to the Symbian Foundation standard or operating system.”

As much as we can all say that the doors are completely closed in regards to Symbian powered Sony Ericsson devices, there is still that slight possibility that this fragile relationship might once again develop some time down the road. In the mean time, don't get your hopes raised about seeing something in the near term.

Still, it's probably best to allow Sony Ericsson to focus on something that'll truly bring their products the much needed attention they deserve. Playstation phone anyone?
